Jack Sock might be stepping back onto the tennis court soon, hinting at a possible return alongside Nick Kyrgios. Despite being only 32, Sock had retired from professional tennis before the 2023 US Open and decided to become a pro pickleball player instead. His journey in pickleball was swift and successful, landing him in the Top 10 singles players within just a year.
But maybe this quick success wasn’t enough to keep him motivated on the pickleball courts. Now, there’s talk of him making a comeback to his first love—tennis. On his podcast with Sam Querrey, Steve Johnson, and John Isner, he asked James Blake about getting a wild card for the 2025 Miami Open.
Possible Tennis Return:
The Miami Open holds special memories for Sock; he debuted there in 2011. Though he lost both singles and doubles matches back then, it marked the start of something big. Now he’s eyeing another shot at doubles glory with Kyrgios by his side. Fans might think it’s exciting to see these two on court together again.

James Blake seemed intrigued by this idea during their chat on the podcast. He mentioned that having Sock and Kyrgios could definitely boost ticket sales—a smart business move indeed! “No way! You getting back on the tennis court?” Blake exclaimed with enthusiasm.
He even joked about John Isner’s previous win at Miami Open in doubles with Hubert Hurkacz: “I mean, it’s not like [John] Isner and [Hubert] Hurkacz were selling as many.” This light-hearted banter shows how much everyone would love to see Sock’s return.
The buzz around Sock’s potential comeback is growing louder—wild cards seem ready if he decides to play again. Even Indian Wells has shown interest through comments on Instagram offering opportunities for Jack’s grand return!
So what do you think? Would you want Jack Sock back on those tennis courts?
